That's fine, but how does one intialise a Boost.Array in member intialiser list, e.g.:
The only way I found to do this is #include<boost/array.hpp> struct Foo { Foo() : m_a((boost::array<int, 4>){1,2,3,4}) { } boost::array<int, 4> m_a; }; I am using this kind of construction often now because it is the cleanest and the most explicit that I can get but I don't know the degree of portability or even correctness of such code. For example I know that it works in GCC 4.1.2, GCC 4.4 and IntelCC 11 but it gives an error with gcc option -pedantic-errors (error: ISO C++ forbids compound-literals). Despite of this possible issue I am using it anyway, but I also would like to know what are the possible issues and portability (please, let me know if you compiler is not gcc). Alfredo
